<ul>
<li>responsible spending,</li>
<li>lower taxes through innovation,</li>
<li>reducing regulations for entrepreneurs, and</li>
<li>ending the culture of entitlement and secrecy that has taken hold of City Hall</li>
</ul>
<h2>Strong Voice, Collaborative Approach</h2>
<p>Over the past two years, I have been blessed to meet thousands of Ward 11 residents in order to listen to your concerns and learn about what kind of community you want to live in. You have told me that representation matters and that you want a Councillor that leads with a strong voice, solid vision and a collaborative approach. I am committed to delivering on the issues that you’ve told me matter the most: City services, a transparent and accountable government, value for taxpayer dollars, a clean city, a safe place to raise your family, a vibrant economy, and most of all: respect for citizens.</p>
<p>I believe that true leadership is driven by integrity and listening to citizens. As your Councillor, it is my great privilege and responsibility to represent you and give a strong voice to your priorities. While our Ward 11 communities are some of the most established in Calgary, we are beginning to face the pressures on important issues such as transportation, redevelopment, and public safety. My personal and professional experiences have taught me that representation matters. I am committed every day to being a strong champion to build up and protect the future of Ward 11 communities, families, and businesses.​​</p>
